Submission + - CO2Stats Project makes web sites carbon neutral (co2stats.com)
Alex Wissner-Gross writes: "According to the Telegraph, the Internet is responsible for more than 100 billion pounds of CO2 emissions per year yet most web surfers are unaware of its environmental impact. To tackle this global problem, two PhD students at Harvard and Yale founded The CO2Stats Project to freely distribute a widget that tracks the carbon emissions attributable to their site due to the electricity usage of their visitors' computers interacting with their servers. The CO2Stats Project then completely offsets the emissions gratis, and has the ambitious goal of making the entire Internet carbon neutral."
